Mistakes as to the meaning of words must needs have a mischievous influence on those who set themselves upon acquiring a just knowledge of a language, and rely on a dictionary for their expositor. Your author, I find, has been very scrupulously accurate in restoring the genuine signification of a great number that had been misinterpreted by former writers; at the same time avoiding a fault some have fallen into, of explaining terms by others equally difficult, or by their synonyms: and where the same word has various significations, he has been careful to give them all in their proper order, beginning with the most obvious and general, and distinguishing them by 1, 2, 3, &c; but he has judiciously suppress’d the significative and metaphorical meanings, as too apt to mislead and perplex.
it is not of our own growth, and he takes the fame method to signify of what part of speech it is. Thus the size of the volume is considerably reduc'd, without parting with any thing of consequence.
He has been very exact in spelling and accenting; points essential to a just orthography and pronunciation.
And whereas our mother tongue has within half á century been much refined and changed, whether by discharging antiquated words, coining new ones, or adopting them from abroad ; our author has kept up to these alterations, and inserted a great number of technical terms, which he has so explained as to render them intelligible even to those unacquainted with the arts to which they belong.
He has introduced here and there several articles, which though they are not of a philological kind, will
yet be found of importance in the concerns of life ; such as the names of all towns of note in England, their distances from London, and the days of their markets, and fairs according to the new regulation of the style ; the names and true value of all foreign species, &c.

To conclude, each of our later English dictionaries may be allowed to have some excellencies that are peculiarly its own: but there was still wanting one formed on such a plan as might unite and concentrate them all in a small compass, a thing the great Mr. LOCKE long ago recommended, and which, in my humble judgment, our author has happily executed in this his work; which if made public, cannot fail of being an inestimable benefit to the youth of this kingdom, and to others who have miss’d of a literary education.
HE power of giving sounds to thought, a voice
to the silent language of the heart, and of expressT
ing all that the mind can conceive by combination of intelligible tones addressed to the ear, is one of
the most amazing, and at the same time one of the greatest privileges of our nature: and closely connected with this, as the most valuable of all human discoveries, is the art of impressing these thoughts on the eye in legible characters. By the former we are rendered capable of social intercourse, of receiving and conveying ideas, of enjoying the endearments of friendship, and the communications of wisdom : by the latter we converse where the ear is far out of the reach of sound, and transmit our thoughts to the remoteft parts of the earth; we treasure up what might otherwise escape our memories, become acquainted with the actions of former ages and diftant countries, with all the learning of the ancients and improvements of the moderns, and can read the laws which the Great Creator of the Universe has given for the government of
our passions, and the regulation of our conduct. Without the first, we should have been solitary in the midst of crowds, excluded from every kind of knowledge except what fell under our immediate notice; and should have been confined to dull and tedious efforts of intimating our defires by figns and gestures. Without the last we might indeed enjoy the benefit of conversation, but then we should be held in ignorance and perplexed in error; we should obtain but a very imperfect knowledge of the preferit time, and could receive no information as to the past, but from partial accounts handed down by tradition. In short, without the first we could scarcely be accounted rational, and but for the last we should have been as ignorant as the wild illiterate Indians.
It has been observed, that language is to the mind what painting and sculpture are to the fight : However the difference in favour of the former is extremely great. The most finished pieces of imagery are at best but dull and unaffecting, when compared with the energy of words. By such masterly productions of art we have indeed the object presented before us, but language can fet it in all varieties of view, under every combination of circumstances.
The idea of an universal language, could such a one poffibly obtain, Ihould seem to imply fomething highly beneficial to the human race : but eternal unerring wisdom, either for advantage or punishment, has determined against it, and appointed to every nation a particular tongue, and to each district its peculiar dialect.
Having said thus much of language in general, it is requifite that we now give a fuccinct account of our own, point out the various changes it has undergone, and by what means it has arrived at its prefent perfection.
As we have many reasons to conclude that this country was originally peopled from the adjacent coast of France, the antient Gaul, we are thence to infer, that the British language eighteen hundred years ago was the same as that dialect of the Gaulish called the Celtic. But about half a century before the Christian Æra, Julius Cæsar invaded Britain, and in the reign
of Claudius a Roman colony was planted in the south east parts of England, and finally under Domitian, the whole nation became a Roman province ; when those Britons, who refused to submit to the foreign yoke, retired into Wales, in hopes of retaining their liberty, and carried their language along with them. From this period the Latin - tongue was gradually introduced, and mixed in all other parts of the land with the British, which those first Conquerors were never able to fuppress.
At length the Roman legions were called home; and then the Scots and Picts making an irruption into the north parts of England, king Vortigern, about the year 400, invited the Saxons to his assistance. These allies came over with several of their neighbours, under the conduct of Hengift and Horta, and having subdued the Scots and Picts, had the ifle of Thanet affigned them at first as a reward for their service, and afterwards the whole county of Kent, which they governed about three hundred and fifty years, till growing powerful and disiatiffied with their narrow limits, they at length took poffeffion of all the country on this side the Welshi mountains, and divided it among themselves into seven kingdoms, called the Saxon Heptarchy. Thus the British tongue, before mixed with the Latin, was almost abolished, and many of the Britons obliged again to take refuge in Wales, while the usurpers laid the foundation of new laws, and a new language.
![[ocr errors]](images/000024.png)
In this situation England continued till about the year 800, when it was invaded by the Danes, who after being several times repulsed, established themselves in the northern and eastern paits, where their power increasing, they at length, after a contest of two hundred years, made themselves the 'tole masters of England ; and by this means the language became tinctured with the Danish : but as their government was or no long duration, it did not make so great an alteration in the Anglo-Saxon, as the next revolution, when the whole was again subdued by William duke of Normandy, afterwards called William the Conqueror; for the Normans, as a monument of their conquest, endeavoured to make their language as universally received as possible.
Thus the English tongue, which was anciently pure British or Welsh, became a mixture of a little British, a great deal of Latin, a yet far greater part of Anglo-Saxon, fome Danish, and abundance of Norman French: but since that time the revival of arts and sciences has added greatly to its imbellishment. These have introduced a vast variety of words from the Greek, Latin, Italian and modern French; our poets have added grace and harmony to their numbers, and our profe writers have strengthened and improved their periods, by selecting the moft musical, expressive, and strongest terms from every known language; fo that notwithstanding its being a compound of such heterogeneous ingredients, it is become the most copious and fignificant of any in Europe, adapted to all fubjects, and expreflive of every sentiment with elegance and propriety.
We come next to give a short account of what parts the English tongue consists, taken in a grammatical light: by which it will appear to be extremely simple in its composition, and free from the many rules which render others difficult to the learner: for though grammar is the same in all languages, except the Chinese, (if that may deservedly be called one) yet every grammar ought to be adapted to the genius of the language to which it gives precepts.
Without going into a critical dissertation on the letters of the alphabet, and the proper manner of dividing syllables, we fall immediately enter upon the parts of speech, which may be distinguished into these four. Nouns substantives, Nouns adjectives, Verbs, and Particles.
Noun Sabstantives, or Names, are words whereby things, whether sensible or intelligible, are express’d. In the following Dictionary they are marked with (S.) by way of abbreviation. They are divided into common, proper, and personal. The common comprehends a whole kind or species, as man is a name that belougs to all men, city to every city, and river to every river.
The proper serves to distinguish particular things, Folon is the name of a particular man, London of a certain city, and the Thames of a particular river. The personal, or
pronoun,
pronoun, is used to avoid the repetition of other names; as I instead of my name ; thou or you, instead of your name; he and the, instead of the name of the person of who we are speaking; and it, when we mention a thing that has no diftinct sex. Thus in speaking of my self, I use the word I; if more than one speak of themselves, they use the word we; in speaking to another, we use thou or you; in speaking to more than one, we say ye or you; if we speak of a person to whom we do not address our discourse, we say he or she; and of a thing without sex, it; and if of more persons or things than one, say they.
Here it is worthy of remark, that who, which and what, are sometimes called personal interrogatives, as being frequently used in asking questions, in which case who is only used in speaking of persons, and which or what of either persons or things, as Who is that lady? What man came in? What place do you chuse? It must also be observed, that who, which and that, are frequently called relatives, from their having a relation to some foregoing word, as the man who wrote that book; where who refers to man; in this case, who is only applied to persons, which to things, and that to either persons or things.
In the English language, personals are the only nouns that are expressed differently, when placed before and after a verb; as, 1, thou, he or she, which are called the three persons fingular, are placed before the verb, and me, thee, him and her, are placed after it; as also we, ye, they, called the three persons plural, precede the verb, and us, you, him, her and them, follow after it.
Substantives have two numbers, the fingular and the plural: the fingular which expresses only one person or thing, is frequently distinguished by a, an, one, or the going before, as a bird, a king, an arm or the arm; and the plural is generally known by its ending in s, as birds, kings, arms; but when the fingular ends with ch, j, fs or x, then es must be added, as churches, dishes, ales, foxes. To this general rule there are however a few exceptions, as those singulars which end in f or fe, have their plurals ending in ves, as loaf, loaves; wife, wives; calf, calves i though dwarf, hoof, handkerchief, mischief, proof,
relief,
relief, reproof, roof, scarf, wharf, are made plural by adding only s, as are words ending in ff, except staves. Again, some words are entirely changed in the plural, as foot makes feet; goose, geese; chick, chickens or chicken, tooth, teeth; man, men; woman, women; child, children; brother, brethren or brothers; ox, oxen; louse, lice; mouse, mice; penny, pence; cow, kine or cows. Some words have no plural, as corn, wheat, rye, barley, chaf, bran, meal, beer, vinegar, honey, butter, tar, pitch, wool, dust, hunger, thirst, people, off-Spring, &c. of this class are also the virtues and vices, as justice, temperance, hatred, envy, &c. and abstract qualities, as happiness, misery, wisdom, paleness, contempt, grief, &c. Others have the same ending in both numbers, as deer, Jheep, &c. And others have no singular, as bellows, bowels, breeches, tongs, Siisars, snuffers, folks, wages, thanks, &c.
In most other languages the masculine and feminine genders being applied to inanimate things, give no small trouble to the learner ; but with us they are only applied to their proper and necessary use, that is, to distinguish the sexes, in which we either use two words, as in man, woman ; 'boy, girl; brother, Sister; duck, drake; goose, gander; or by putting another word expressive of the sex before the name, as in man servant, maid servant; male child; female child; cock sparrow, hen sparrow; he goat, she goat. In some few words, the female is distinguished from the male, by changing the termination into ess, as count, countess; heir, heiress; prince, princess; or into ix, as administratrix, executrix, testatrix. They are also known by the personal names he, him, used in speaking of males ; fe, her, used in referring to females ; and it, when we refer to inanimate things. But there are four or five words in the language, which may be considered as exceptions to this rule; for we sometimes use the word fun in the masculine gender, and the moon, the church, and a mip, are of the feminine.
Instead of cases, and the various terminations and declenfions used in Latin, we have only the articles a, an, the, of, to, by, from, with, &c. to distinguish the several circumstances of the noun, either when alone, or when joined to an adjective; except in the genitive case, which we fometimes form by adding 's to the noun, as for the son of the
king,
Adjectives, distinguished in the following dictionary by (A.) express the qualities or properties of the substantive, as fine, good, wise, excellent, foolish, sweet, &c. which must have a subItantive joined to them to make them understood, as a fine garden, a good woman, a wise man, &c. And these in the Englifh tongue have neither number, case nor gender, but are joined to nouns, either masculine or feminine, fingular or plural without altering their terminations, as a good man, a good woman, a good house, good men, &c. And though in most other languages they are placed after the substantive, in English they are placed before it, as in the above examples; in poetry, however, this order is sometimes changed, as O bard divine !. the principal peculiarity of this part of {peech is, that qualities admit of degrees of comparison, which things do not : and of these there are properly but two, called the comparative and the superlative, both formed from the quality in its positive state, which expresses fimply and absolutlely the state of the name, without relation to the like quality in any other : as wise, bright, fair, vile: the comparative degree, by comparing one thing with another, expresses the quality somewhat encreased or diminished, and is formed by adding er to the positive, as wiser, brighter, fairer, viler : and the superlative degree expreffes absolutely the superiority of one above or beyond the other, as wiseji, brightest, faireft, vileft. The degrees of comparison are also frequently formed by adding more or most, without altering the termination of the adjective, as more wise, most wife; which serves to vary the turn of expreslion, and is often esteemed more elegant than barely altering the termination: this is particularly the case in words of two, three or more syllables ; thus more beautiful, most beautiful; are more elegant than beautifuller, beautifulleft. Thus extraordinary, remarkable, and most other long words, have their degrees of comparison, always expressed by more and most, for we never say extraordinarier, extraordinarieft. We have, however, a few irregulars, which cannot be brought under these rules, in which the degrees of comparison are formed in different words, as little, less, leaft; bad, worse, worst; good, beiter, beft ; much or many, more, moft.
It
It must be observed, that nouns or names are sometimes used as adjectives orqualities, as a gold watch, a diamond ring, a silver candlestick. And that a quality is used as a name, and is to be considered as a substantive, whenever it is taken in an abstracted or universal sense.
Some grammarians have ranked the words my, mine; thy, thine; his, hers; our, ours; jour, yours; their, theirs; under the class of qualities derived from personal names, and called them personal poffeffives; and also this, that, the, same, which are called demonstratives, because they shew what particular person or thing we mean, as this horfi, that house. This and that, in the plural number, make these and those.
A Verb or affirmation, marked in the following dictionary with (V.), is a word which expresses what is affirmed or faid of things; and is usually reckoned of two kinds, the auxiliary verb, and the verb itself, both of which have persons, numbers, and tenses or times. The persons, which are distinguished by a personal name going before them, vary their termination only in the fingular number, as in I live, thou livest, he lives or liveth, we live, ye live, they live. The affirmations have but three tenses or times, the present, the past, and the future; or in other words, the thing doing, done, or to be done. The present tense is exprefled by the affirmation itself, as I dance; the past time generally ends in ed, as I danced; and the future is formed by adding the auxiliary verb shall or will, as I shall dance; and as there are but two tenses or times expressed by the affirmation, its various changes are signified by the nine following auxiliary affirmations, viz. do, will, Mall, may, can, must, ought, have, am or be, which being placed before other affirmations, signify time, resolution, power, liberty, necessity, duty, &c.
It must be observed, that when one of these auxiliaries is put before another affirmation, the auxiliary only alters its termination in expressing the persons, as I am living, thou art living, he is living, we are living, &c. I do live, thou dost live, he doth or does live, &c.
simply foretell, we use fall in the first person, and will in the
but when we promise, threaten or engage, we use will in the first person, and shall in the others.
We have said, that the affirmation generally expresses the past time by adding ed to the present; but there are a pretty many words which cannot be reduced to this rule ; the most common irregularity is the changing the d into t, and omitting the vowel, as in mixt for mixed; the others are too many to be all here enumerated; such as I am awake, I awoke; I bear, I bore, I have borne ; I fee, I saw; I swim, I swam ; I spin, I spun; I teach, I taught ; I tread, I trod, I have trodden; I weep, I wept; I write, I wrote, I have written.
The affirmation has fometimes the particle to placed before it; and when it is thus used, it is always joined with another affirmation ; and has then the power of a name or substantive.
Particles, marked in the following dictionary with a (P.) are such words as denote some circumstances, or quality of an action, join words or sentences, or express some sudden emotion of the soul, and these comprehend all that are commonly known by the names of Adverb, Conjunctions, Prepositions and Interjections : words which, though of different natures, ought to be reduced to one class, since they always retain their form, and are fubject to none of the variations of other parts of speech.
The use of adverbs is to denote fome circumstance or quality of the word to which they are joined, which is frequently to an affirmation, as I love her dearly, and as many of these are derived from qualities, they, like them, admit of degrees of comparison, as happily, more happily, most happily; wilėly, more wisely, mof wisely : these always end in ly. Adverbs are also divided into those of time, as now, already, yesterday, often, always, feldom, &c. Into those of place, as here, there, bither, above, below, &c. Into those of number, as first, second, third, once, twice, &c. Into those of quantity, as more, less, enough, too much, &c. Into those of affirmation, as yea, yes, truely, &c. Into those of negation, as no, not, nay, &c. Into those of doubting, as perhaps, peradventure, &c.
Conjunctions
Conjunɛtions are words that join sentences together, and shew the manner of their dependance on one another ; as and, also, or, nor, either neither.
Prepositions are particles set before other words, to shew the relation which the subsequent word has to some other that precedes it, as at, against, among, between, from, for, in, of, with, &c.
Interjections are imperfect words, mostly monofyllables, that denote some sudden emotion or passion of the mind, and being expressed by a kind of involuntary impulse, have no connection with any other part of a sentence; as ah! alas! frange! pill! foh! huh! hark ! &c.
Of these four parts of speech every sentence is compounded, and on the proper choice of words, and the disposition and manner of placing them, all the elegance, harmony, and force of language confift.

About this Book - From Google
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online. It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume may appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you.
Google Book Search has digitized millions of physical books and made them available online at the Google Books web site. The digitization at the most basic level is based on page images of the physical books. To make this book available as an ePub formated file we have taken those page images and extracted the text using Optical Character Recognition (or OCR for short) technology. The extraction of text from page images is a difficult engineering task. Smudges on the physical books' pages, fancy fonts, old fonts, torn pages, etc. can all lead to errors in the extracted text. Imperfect OCR is only the first challenge in the ultimate goal of moving from collections of page images to extracted-text based books. Our computer algorithms also have to automatically determine the structure of the book (what are the headers and footers, where images are placed, whether text is verse or prose, and so forth). Getting this right allows us to render the book in a way that follows the format of the original book.
Despite our best efforts you may see spelling mistakes, garbage characters, extraneous images, or missing pages in this book. Based on our estimates, these errors should not prevent you from enjoying the content of the book. The technical challenges of automatically constructing a perfect book are daunting, but we continue to make enhancements to our OCR and book structure extraction technologies.
We hope you'll enjoy these books as much as we do.
